[English]

If the hero never comes to you If you need someone, you're feeling blue

If you wait for love and you're alone If you call your friends nobody's home

You can run away but you can't hide Through a storm and through a lonely night

Then I'll show you there's a destiny The best things in life they are free

But if you wanna cry Cry on my shoulder

If you need someone Who cares for you

If you're feeling sad Your heart gets colder

Yes I show you what real love can do If your sky is grey oh, let me know

There's a place in heaven where we'll go If heaven is a million years away

Oh, just call me and I'll make your day When the nights are gettin' cold and blue

When the days are gettin' hard for you I will always stay here by your side

I promise you I'll never hide But if you wanna cry

Cry on my shoulder If you need someone

Who cares for you If you're feeling sad

Your heart gets colder Yes I show you what real love can do

But if you wanna cry Cry on my shoulder

If you need someone Who cares for you

If you're feeling sad Your heart gets colder

Yes I show you what real love can do What real love can do

What real love can do What love can do

What love can do Love can do
